The company is focused on finding and mentoring niche technologies, and provides guidance, direction, and potentially capital to help new technologies reach a level of maturity necessary to respond to mission needs.Companies (no matter small, medium or large) who are forced to navigate the federal procurement process often find it to be an excruciating experience, with an endless number of well-intentioned regulations that either compel them out of the running or load them up on endless amounts of red tape. There are many companies, that offer a solution to this, but few that understand the effort is well beyond a written proposal; that 85% of the endeavor is articulating the capability, matching it to requirement, introducing it to the customer/s, and most importantly portraying the company as a resource.

This foundation enables FRC to do what it does best; bridge the gap between policy and tactics by cultivating and showcasing developing technologies to high-level stakeholders to identify and secure public safety/wafighter applications. It is no small feat when a company finds itself needing to complete the daunting task of navigating the federal procurement process. The choice is either to give up or to dive deep into the bureaucratic red tape that is the side-effect of well-meaning regulations. FRC understands that the key to surviving this process is more than the written proposal. Success lies in portraying the company as a resource by reflecting its capability in matching the requirement and introducing it to the customer(s). FRC helps our clients reach their desired objective by taking a “big picture” approach. We analyze the different avenues that can lead the company to the end goal, present a range of possibilities and then recommend the optimal path the client should follow. Recommendation is only part of the process; implementing the strategies developed by FRC is the key to success. We remain committed to ensuring our clients reach their full potential by ensuring the internalization of our developed strategies and putting them into practice. Our team of experts can provide high-level introductions to Industry Partners, First Responders, DHS, DOJ and DoD. We have spent years cultivating relationships with our contacts and will in turn help our clients make connections and develop relationships. We will be there every step of the way with training, the latest technology and connections to our vast network within LE, Govmt, industry, community, academia and the military. Show less
